The horniest haunted house book you've ever read, in a good way. 

S.T. Gibson's darkly atmospheric writing shines again here, creating the perfect Gothic Scottish mansion vibes. Adam and his best friend Nicola travel to a secretive Scottish manor to find the secret behind his Grandfather's connection to the home, and get more than they bargained for. Dark fae discoveries and kinky group explorations ensue. 

Your enjoyment may vary with this one depending on your perfect ratio of horny vs. spooky - I'm actually hoping that the next instalment in the series leans into its spooky side more, as sometimes the spicy scenes felt like they were getting in the way of the story, even though they were well-executed and were part of the overall journey. 

Thank you so much to Orbit and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review!
